It turns out all hard links will be deleted after user log off. The file system is: `type ncpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)' as I am running Emacs on my Univ's server.
Is there any reason to choose hard link over symbolic link?
All regular files are hard links. A hard link is just a name for a file on disk. "emacs" is one name for the executable and "emacs-22.0.92" is another name for the same executable. There's no concept of one being a link to the other, they are both names for the same file on disk. If "all hard links" are deleted, then both "emacs" and "emacs-22.0.92" will be deleted, along with all your other files. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
